Two Columbia University sociologists,
William Ogburn and Dorothy Thomas,
publish a paper in the
entitled, "Are Inventions Inevitable?"
In it, they cite 148 instances of simultaneous inventions
where two or more individuals, each operating
without knowledge of the other's work,
came up with the same groundbreaking innovation
or theory at the same time.
How is it that people
in different continents, different cultures,
can come up with the same idea
at almost exactly the same time?
And it's seen throughout history.
Albert Einstein says that he came up
with the idea for relativity
in a few moments.
It suddenly came into his mind.
Einstein's discovery of relativity
was preceded almost simultaneously
by a theoretical physicist, a Frenchman named Poincaré.
[David Childress]
by both Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi
at the same time.
You have the telephone also being developed
at the same time.
There's many incidences in history like this.

British engineer, Sir Frank Whittle,
and a German physicist, Hans Von Ohain,
both invented the first jet engine.
The designs were strikingly similar.
And because they were serving on different sides of the war,
neither had any knowledge of the other's work.

that have shown up around the planet
at the exact same time.
People that aren't connected,
people that have no influence upon each other.
And those are the things that start to emerge
simultaneously around the planet.
Here's the interesting thing, this goes back to the idea
that we find information
in the substrate of the physical world.
It may just be that every single discovery
that we ever wanted to discover
is already in the room right now.
It isn't that the information is not there.
It's that our brains are not evolved yet
to see the information.
Now, not everybody is on the same wavelength.
Not everybody is evolved at the same rate.
That's also true.
So there are people throughout history
that could access that information.
[David Wilcock]
And they think people have a certain level
of technology at a certain time,
and they have the tools in front of them
to be able to make breakthroughs.
That doesn't explain why it happens so precisely
that in many cases, it is literally simultaneous.
We have to look at the possibility
that extraterrestrials could be introducing ideas
into this information field.
Sort of as if something has been uploaded
into the cloud.
[narrator]
greatest visionaries, Nikola Tesla,
seem to point to some sort of influence
from an otherworldly realm of information.
Tesla was most notably responsible
for the practical application of alternating current,
the foundation of our modern electrical grid.
In his autobiography, Tesla talked about the day
that he had the revelation
of how to harness alternating current.
Right before that, he had a serious flu,
but he said that he felt
that he could detect light from his forehead
and that he was able to receive information
from other sources,
and that this other source entered his consciousness
and he was then enabled to come up with this invention
which changed the world.
Tesla felt that we were receivers,
that all impulses came from the outside
and that we worked on these impulses.
So, he doesn't believe
that they come from dreams or inner visions.
He really felt that we were, in a sense, uh,
self-propelled robots.
[David Wilcock]
than anyone rightfully should have been able to get
for his time in history, where he was and when he was.
It could be the result of outside influence
from the Akashic Field steering us along a path
to make sure that we have reached
a certain level of technological sophistication
within a certain prescribed time window.
